  2. There are other members belonging to The Secret Society of the Custom Title. To be sure, they all have CT's but NONE have been branded.
  3. I'll have to admit that the one I wanted is too long for the short space-East Coast Man With A West Coast Frame Of Mind

    Congrats Evan! Seiko King Turtle SRPE03? Perfect companion (and a step up) to the SKX009!

  5. Baby. Caught. Plus an extra kid thrown in for no irritation. Good show, Tim!

  7. Another Awesome shave, Angelo--I got rid off all my DE and SE razors except for three--the Flare Tip was one of them. Big fan of the Super Speed :D

  8. If anything, I miss those whole, filling, comforting meals. I'm part Sicilian and Irish, so every time I'm over with the family, I am always fed good, even if your not family. this virus is kinda keeping me from going over though.

    BTW if you ever come down to the Atlanta area, consider checking out Serafino's Italian restaurant. It's a little hole in the wall place and the owner is fresh of the boat, if you get what I mean. I know they have a lot of little hole in the wall Italian restaurants up in New York where you stay but I think this place is worth checking out.

  9. Thanks Charlie!. It's the SRP773, so no sapphire crystal or ceramic bezel. I really like it. I've been alternating between this and the SKX009. They're both a lot of fun.

  11. Actually riding the cap is what I was trying to dial in.

    That info does give me a basis for a plan of attack, though. I really like it at 9 for that WTG pass, but (given your comparison with the Flare Tip) think the optimal setting for me for subsequent passes would be somewhere around 6. Touch ups definitely at 3 or 4.

    You may have saved me from a month of experimenting with my Sunday shaves--we'll see next Sunday ;) :D

  16. Wow, 800 pages behind, I will have to catch up later.

    Sunday I went with a hot lather shave, Fine soap and a big Mike Martinez 8/8 razor. I did not shave until 3:00 in the afternoon so I did just three passes since I know I have to shave early Monday morning.

    A Sunday stroll through the park to check out the flowers. This weekend was supposed to be the cherry blossom festival but they canceled it. In an attempt to keep people away, no food vendors (only the normal convince stores), closed the parking lots and no public buses. It was beautiful weather so a decent turnout. The city had people with signs saying wear your masks and stay 2 meters away.

    Monday morning shave with a fresh Super Iridium and my 2011 R41. An excellent shave to start the week. This tub of BoS should be finished this week or next.
